LewandowskiWhilst Robert Lewandowski was disappointing against England last Tuesday (good thing too!), we all know that he’s capable of more. The Polish forward’s running was sharp and effective, but for once he didn’t pack his finishing boots.

If we had caught him on another day, things could have been very different. The man is quite sensational in front of goal.

He’s the spearhead of a very impressive Borussia Dortmund side, and hasn’t been able to stop scoring since 2011. During that season (2011/12) he nabbed 30 goals in 47 appearances. Last season he scored 36 in 49. This season he already has 9 goals in 9 games.

There are very few strikers in world football who can boast of similar strike-rates. The man appears to be in a league of his own.

What’s more, given the fact that his Borussia Dortmund contract is about to run down (this summer), he’s also one of world football’s most eligible men. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of clubs looking to offer him a contract when Dortmund are forced to release him.

It was originally assumed that he would end up at Bayern Munich, but the Polish striker recently moved to rubbish those rumours:

“I will be able to sign a contract [with any club] in January, but I have never said that I will sign a contract with Bayern. I was a misunderstanding. One day I would like to play in the Premier League. It would be a great experience.”

It’s good to hear him mention the Premier League, as I can’t help but feel that he’s a perfect match for English football.

The Star suggest that Arsenal could move in for Lewandowski, given that the club is ‘desperately short of striking options’. In this regard, I can’t help but nod vigorously in agreement.

Whilst Olivier Giroud has done a fine job thus far this season, he’s going to need more support. This is the one area of the squad where Arsenal are short of world-class options.

Adding Robert Lewandowski to their squad would turn Arsenal into title-challengers (if they’re not already). It would send a message out to the footballing community that the club means business. It would further underline the Gunners’ ability to attract top talent.

At 25-years-old, Lewandowski is about to enter the best years of his career. For him to do so in an Arsenal short would be quite a thing.

What’s your take? Can Arsenal really compete for Robert Lewandowski?

    Too similar to Giroud. We need a slicker, quicker, more technical forward. Someone in the mould of a Suarez, or a Sanchez, or even a Hernandez.

    Bid 50 million for Suarez, get him and Arsenal would be Title winners and definitely Champions League contenders.
